School work…I hate being forced to read what my professor wants me to. I’d rather pick my own titles; and my list is long. However, somewhere in the middle of it, I always find personal and intellectual growth. Darn them! 🙂

I just finished my first mini-essay (400-600 words) in quite a while. It’s a sweet little thing. All about the fascinating topic of United Methodist theological and doctrinal confusion. It’s fair to say I’m still a bit confused myself. 🙂 But it’s done. And that, my friends, makes my life beautiful!

So, what have you done that makes your life beautiful?

Or better yet, what has someone else done for you?

Or best of all, what have you done for someone else?!?

Let today be a truly beautiful day!

Life is Beautiful by The Afters

Through the window
I see you waiting
You are smiling
Cause I’m coming
Your eyes are a story
An ocean of memories
Pictures of faces and places
And all of the things
That make us feel like we have it all

All of the times
That make us realize
We have it all
We have it all

Life is beautiful
Life is beautiful

Living and dying
Laughing or crying
If we have the whole world or have nothing
I know there are long nights
But we’ll make it
With every sunrise comes a new light
And all of the things
That make us feel like we have it all

All of the times
That make us realize
We have it all
We have it all

Life is beautiful
Life is beautiful
Life is beautiful

A father’s love
A wedding dance
New Year’s dreams
A toast with friends
A soldier coming home from war
The faith the hope of so much more
A brand new life, a mother’s prayer
Shooting stars, ocean air
A lover’s kiss, and hard goodbyes
Fireworks, Christmas lights

These are things that make us feel alive
These are the times that make us realize

Life is beautiful
Life is beautiful
Life is beautiful

These are the times that make us realize
